I found the solution here: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/contact-form-cant-get-email-notifications-to-send-to-different-email-address?replies=5

“Nevermind. I found the problem. Here’s what’s up:
For whatever reason, putting the info in the email notifications tab on the Build a Form dialog wasn’t getting it into the shortcode. Instead, it just showed this:

[contact-form subject='RESERVATION']

Changing the subject line(mine was “RESERVATION”), but not the address it gets sent to. I found some outdated shortcode related to ua forms, and tried guessing the commands and inserting a “to” field on my own, as a seperate entry, but it didn’t work. It just showed up as text on the page.

To get it to work, it has to be in the same entry with the subject line. Here’s what the shortcode should look like:

[contact-form to='[email redacted]' subject='YourSubjectHere']

For mine, this is the first entry, before any of the fields in the form. I’m not sure if there are other ways to do it. Hope this helps anyone having the same problem.”
